THE TILES 95 



Another has IHS or INS rudely incised with a pointed 

 instrument. The tile is broken in front of the first letter. 

 The lower edge of this tile being bevelled it may well 

 have belonged to the lowest row on the roof where an 

 inscription would be most visible. 



With the abundance of good building stone available in 

 the district, tiles would not be required for wall construc- 

 tion. One tile, however, is in the shape of a voussoir of 

 an arch.
